For anyone interested, a show on History tonight called Super Tools is showing an episode called 'Ship' which shows various technologies of interest to us used in the manufacture of the Aircraft Carrier George H.W. Bush. A big lathe and VTL are featured at around the 1/2 hour mark, but the whole show seems to be 80% correct with regard to equipment.

This show is on the History channel and is on East Coast Direct TV replaying at midnight tonight (5/5-5/6). There could be other showings, but Tivo doesn't show them. . .

There are also other interesting episodes coming up, but this particular one seemed interesting to machinist minded people.
